Dark Sky Star Party (GO for Thursday)

See the milky way and galaxies with the unaided eye. Point your telescope to find the many dim deep space objects that sprinkle the sky. Away from Toronto's light polution, there is so much to see. We observe from the Long Sault Conservation area, an hour outside of Toronto. We meet around dusk once a month in the parking lot for views only seen in dark sky conditions. We hold this event on the first clear night of our week-long window, so the date and time are determined closer to.

Come to our Comet Party to observe 46P/Wirtanen through our telescopes and binoculars. 46P/Wirtanen is the brightest comet we are likely to see for the next 20 years! We will hold the Comet Party on the first clear evening of the December 14-16 weekend at the Iroquois Park Sports Centre in Whitby Check our website on those days for our GO/NO-GO decision. The Sports Centre is adjacent to the Whitby GO Station, making it easy to get there from Toronto without driving. If driving, there is ample free parking at Iroquois Park itself.
